Padmavati Controversy : 'BJP Supported' only to win the heart of Rajput community after 'Anandpal Encounter'

By Puneet Bawa - December 03, 2017

Anandpal Encounter:

Anandpal was a Ravana Rajput, a community born from the
concubines of Rajputs and regarded as inferior by the Rajputs, especially for
matrimony. When Anandpal Singh was gunned down in a controversial police
encounter last month in northern Rajasthan’s Churu, he was a dreaded gangster
with six murder charges and little social traction. But in a month, the
45-year-old has been transformed into an icon who has galvanised the
influential Rajput community.

Rajput bodies across the state have blocked roads, vandalised
public property and demonstrated
against police to press for an inquiry into what they allege was a staged
encounter.

Community
bodies such as Shree Rajput Sabha, Rajput Karni Sena and Pratap Foundation have
joined the protests.

Bhartiya Janta Party as seen today is the Party with Most Educated people ever in the history of Indian Constitution. They well know when to take the political advantage which can be seen after Political Shift in Bihar.

Whatever the case may be in Bihar, but BJP has somehow lost its hold over some people after the radical decisions of Demonetization where GST stands in the queue awaiting for the results.

Concerning the lost support among Rajput community after the encounter of gangster Anandpal. This step is however worth taken inorder to control crime in the country. 'Control on the guns and crime' has been done effectively by the Indian Government talking of Jammu & Kashmir and Uttar Pardesh.

But this encounter has seen taken the different turf as Rajput Community,Shree Rajput Sabha, Rajput Karni Sena and Pratap Foundation have joined the protests against the Anandpal Encounter.

As for upcoming By-Elections 2017 in Rajasthan and State elections in 2019, Rajput community hold the large number of voters. This was seen as taking advantage of the 'Padmavati Controversy' to gain the votes of Rajput Community.
